Will Shortz Recording

If you weren’t able to join us last week for Illinois Libraries Present’s conversation with puzzle master Will Shorts, a recording will be available to view through June 30th, 2023. We have even more author conversations, some in-person, some via Zoom, planned over the next several months. Make sure to save your seats for these not-to-be-missed events.

Community Kindness Day

This Saturday, April 29th, 2023 is Community Kindness Day, an annual event when residents of Norridge and Harwood Heights pledge to commit acts of kindness! Drop by the library to participate in our Jigsaw Puzzle Swap, sign up for our Netiquette class to learn ways to be kind online, or work on a Kindness Heart. Don’t forget to pop into Kids World to make an origami candy box, friendship bookmarks, and other kid-friendly kindness crafts!

Overdrive Discontinued

On May 1st, 2023, the Overdrive App will be officially discontinued. Luckily, switching to the Libby App is easy and will give you all the same great ebooks, audiobooks, and more. Visit the Libby Life blog, to learn everything you need to know about moving from Overdrive to Libby

CPL Borrowing Policies

As a library which reciprocates borrowing with the Chicago Public Library, the Eisenhower Library upholds CPL’s circulation policies for Chicago Library cardholders. This year, CPL’s rules governing reciprocal borrowing are changing.

Beginning on April 25th, 2023, CPL patrons visiting Eisenhower will no longer be able to borrow console video games, canvas bags, kits, and a few other non-traditional library materials. Chicago residents will still be able to borrow books, movies and TV series on DVD and Blu-ray, audiobook CDs, music CDs, and magazines. We’ll also happily welcome Chicago patrons at our programs including lectures, classes, book clubs, movie screenings, and other events.

Any concerns about the changes to CPL’s circulation policies can be directed to the Commissioner of the Chicago Public Library at 312-747-4090.
